Academy of Technical and
Art Applied Studies Belgrade

Textile Materials Course code: TMA 113180 | 3 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 2
Semester: 4
Requirements: Knowledge of textile fibers.
Goal: Introducing students to different types of textile materials (yarn, woven and knitted fabric and nonwovens). Studying the structure and characteristics of textile materials and the influence they have on the final appearance and utility of a textile product.
Outcome: Upon passing the exam, the students will be able to: identify different types of textile materials; determine the basic structural parameters of textile materials; adjust the type of textile material to its intended purpose.
